Pearl River, NY (July 22, 2009) - On-Net Surveillance Systems, Inc. (OnSSI) and Defentect are working together in a research demonstration project run by San Diego State University's Homeland Security Program and the SDSU Immersive Visualization Center ("Viz Center") that focuses on technologies and best practices needed to address the illicit transport of radiological materials used to make dirty bombs.

The project creates a permanent gamma radiation detection perimeter system, incorporating the unique user interface and functionality of OnSSI's Ocularis IP video command-and-control software, Defentect's GT2 gamma radiation detection sensor technology and DM3 sensor management, monitoring and messaging platform and Axis network cameras that can target detected threats.

The SDSU installation integrates Defentect's GT2^TM gross gamma radiation detection sensor system and its DM3^TMsensor management, monitoring, and messaging platform; OnSSI Ocularis IP Video command-and-control software; and the Axis P3301 Fixed Dome Network Camera and the Axis 233D Network Dome camera. Axis network cameras mobilize to target a detected threat and interrogate the area for individuals who are contaminated by or are transporting gamma-emitting radioactive materials.

"People can visit the Viz Center's courtyard and experience the system firsthand," said Dr. Eric Frost, Founder and Co-Director of SDSU Immersive Visualization Center and Co-Director of the Homeland Security Master's Degree Program at SDSU. "This program is one more way the Viz Center is working to evaluate and enhance tools and technologies to help both public and private entities deal with potential hazards with accuracy and speed - important in the face of mounting and unseen threats."

"Ocularis offers functionality that perfectly complements the other technologies used in this demonstration project," said Mulli Diamant, Vice President of Sales. "Homeland security applications truly leverage our system, which can fuse information from multiple applications, in this instance radiation detection, presenting an integrated alert which enables users to view, manage and record video from an unlimited number of surveillance cameras. We are pleased to be a part of this project which takes the hypothetical out of the equation and shows a reality-based scenario. In the real world, the benefits of Ocularis become quite obvious."

The SDSU Viz Center tests and displays a variety of cutting-edge technologies. Visitors to the center include organizations interested in increasing the safety of their assets and employees, including state, county and local officials; national and international agencies including the Department of Homeland Security; and private-sector groups representing hospitals, municipalities, storage facilities, transportation facilities and waste management companies.
